Background: Our daycare accepts cloth diapers, and there is even another kiddo in them as well in our class! I posted in this group before about how they were worried the cloth diapers I was using was preventing my 9 mo old from crawling. They asked if they could use disposables sometimes instead, and I said they can do whatever they think will help. (I’d also like to say my LO was home with me for 3 weeks since I was off work and he got super close to crawling in that time even tho we CD full time! I think it was bc I played with him and put him on his belly during the day and had one on one time with him when obvi at day care they are watching so many kids at once). I told them I won’t provide disposables, since I provide cloth and one of the big reasons we do this is for the savings. They said that was fine since they had an “emergency stash” they could use.
Fast forward to now: they are still using disposables part time at daycare (they probably only use like one or two cloth diapers a day). I’m fine with it but they leave notes all the time in our app saying things like “changed to disposables so baby could be comfortable” or “used disposables for baby’s comfort” or “pulled from emergency diaper stash for baby.” I’m getting a bit tired of it bc it feels passive aggressive. I totally get if u don’t like CD or have a strong opinion about it, that’s fine. But it has been wearing down on me to see it all the time.
Am I making my baby uncomfortable? Are cloth diapers hindering his development? Am I a bad parent to put cost savings and less garbage above my child’s comfort? I don’t know what to do!
